Element: ariaRowSpan property
Baseline
2023
Newly available
Since October 2023, this feature works across the latest devices and browser versions. This feature might not work in older devices or browsers.
The ariaRowSpan property of the Element interface reflects the value of the aria-rowspan attribute, which defines the number of rows spanned by a cell or gridcell within a table, grid, or treegrid.
Value
A string which contains an integer.
Examples
In this example the aria-rowspan attribute on the element with an ID of spanning-heading is set to "3". Using ariaRowSpan we update the value to "2".
html
<table>
<tr>
<th id="spanning-heading" rowspan="3" aria-rowspan="3">Spanning heading</th>
<th>Heading</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>One</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Two</td>
</tr>
</table>
js
let el = document.getElementById("spanning-heading");
console.log(el.ariaRowSpan);
el.ariaRowSpan = "2";
console.log(el.ariaRowSpan);
